BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, I've got a story here in the Stack about Hollywood leftists, led by Ed Asner and Mike Farrell. Now, they're a couple of relics, but they are the leaders of the anti-war movement in Hollywood, and they're still influencing young actors and actresses, and they are admitting they don't like this at all. They don't like this Syria business. They don't like what's going on in Libya. They don't like Obama's foreign policy at all.
But they will not go public with it, and Asner admitted why. They don't want to be seen as "anti-black." Bingo again. It's the same reason the Republicans are not standing up and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be seen as anti-black, and so opposing Obama is not seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived as being against black people. Because of the nature of this nation's past in terms of slavery, whenever a black person reaches a position of power we've got to relax all the standards.
It's because of the soft bigotry of low expectation, because of all the sympathy, because we feel so bad for what happened that they can't do anything wrong. We're not gonna permit that. It would just be so unfair. It'd be so unfair, the first black president to get there and be subject to criticism? It's not fair! It's not fair! We got a long way to go before we level the playing field on what happened in the days of slavery.
So even the most virulent anti-war protesters in Hollywood are afraid to speak up, because even more important to them than their anti-war position is their position on race -- and don't doubt that for a minute. The civil rights movement is why Hollywood is liberal. Eighty percent of it, minimum. Maybe 90%. D not doubt me. The civil rights movement, the marches in the sixties, all of that is exactly why Hollywood's liberal on everything else.
When you throw in the first African-American president, you shut 'em up on anything else that they disagreed with. Not even Ed Asner and Mike Farrell or anybody else out there wants to even get close to being thought of as anti-black. That's more important to them than anything else. They could sit by and watch Obama launch a massive attack and not say anything, because to be critical of it is to be anti-black. That's practically a quote from Asner himself, and he wasn't just talking about himself.
His full quote is, "A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama." That's the Republican Party as well, and that's inside the Beltway formula. They're just not gonna analyze this honestly, even if they know what it is. They're just not gonna go there, folks. Nobody's got the guts. Everybody is afraid of being called anti-black -- and make no mistake: The Democrats and Obama and his advisers know it.
They love it, and they use it.
I would, too, if I were them.
END TRANSCRIPT
And Communism shielded Uncle Joe Stalin from criticism from fellow travelers like Red Asner.
I liked that show were he played the newpaper reporter
‘Lou Grant’
Didnt like the MTM show, too dumb.
Ed worships his hero, Joseph Stalin. So he wants American servicemen to die so 0bama won’t look bad, and he can’t be called a racist.
Stalin threw away the lives of his soldiers like yesterday’s newspaper, too. It served the ends of the Party.
Well Ed, at least you’re consistent.
Proves that the left are the real racists.
And that makes 0bama less than a President, for no one knows the content of his character because he is perceived as black by the liberal left.
His policy, ideas, and anything else will never be aired or discussed openly & freely, because 0bama is black.
This is the true racism of the left and the result of the racism propaganda they have propagated. It harms 0bama and the United States.
You would have to believe they’d remain quiet for a black conservative.
Liberals: Pick Anything, They Are as Shallow as What’s on the Surface.
What Obama looks like is SURFACE. Not SUBSTANCE.
Not criticizing him because of a SURFACE characteristic is hypocritical and shallow, and cowardly. Liberals have NO GUTS if they think other liberals will call them racist, anti-whatever if it’s something they don’t take pride in being called. Anti-gun, excellent. Anti-black, can’t take that chance.
See they know the other liberals who’d turn on them, aren’t going to listen to their arguments. They know because they’re liberals too, and they know you don’t care about the other side’s arguments, you just throw out names and slogans until the other side shuts up and the media starts parroting your themes and the frame of the issue changes focus to the other side doing this or that, instead of the original issue.
Elite racist. Won’t treat races equally.
no because conservatives are attack targets. nothing matters then because the debate isn’t that. besides if race is an issue they just say the conservative hardly is representative of the race as a whole. marginalize and isolate as an aberration and therefore, not as legitimate as the liberal majority groupthink.
Come on, Ed! It’s not so bad. You’re white so you’re assumed to be a racist anyway...
Hollywood is truly disgusting. They cling to the snuffing out of life from inception(abortion), and have no problem with Americans dying to save the feelings of one pot smoking little black dude. These people have no souls.
I watched Lou Grant way back when. Mtm never did much for me either.
B-but Obama is not black. Who was it who said Howard Stern is blacker than Obama? Was it Levin? Stern was raised from the time he was a baby to the time he was an adult in an all black neighborhood in Roosevelt Long Island. He was the only white guy in his school and use to get beat up for it. Compare that to Obama who grew up (supposedly) in Hawaii in an all white neighborhood raised by white people, but because his daddy - who he only saw once in his entire life - fertilized mommies egg, that makes Obama “black”. Baloney. Pale white Jewish Howard Stern is blacker than Obama.
I preferred the Hawaii Five-0 episode where he bought the farm at the end. I know it was just drama, but for a moment I imagined he was getting his come uppance.
He’s still alive????
and that is a fact
when we know in fact it is the liberals that are racist
